Air Pressure - The force exerted on you and things around you by the
weight of tiny particles of air (air molecules) is called air
pressure. Although air molecules are invisible, they still
have weight and take up space. Air pressure makes it
possible to fly in airplanes and keeps our bodies from
exploding! Find out how air pressure affects you and why
it's important.
